Import Tips & Compliance
• Include lab tests confirming crust status and surface area; exceeding 28 sq ft reclassifies to other 4104.49 codes
• Ensure supplier invoices specify 'lining leather' use to prevent customs disputes over upper vs lining designation
• Avoid common error of importing pre-finished linings, which belong in 4107 or 4202 assembled goods
